Overview
Un amor imposible en los albores de la revolución.
Shanghái, 1924. Los primeros movimientos comunistas empiezan a minar el poder del Partido Nacionalista y alientan la expulsión de los extranjeros residentes en las concesiones, los exclusivos barrios internacionales de la ciudad. Nacida en uno de ellos, Darlene Long ansía conocer la China auténtica, pero los muros de su jaula dorada se erigen altos y sabe que siempre será considerada una forastera.
En la otra punta de la ciudad, Kai Tao se organiza junto con otros universitarios para promover el ideario comunista y, aunque sus caminos no deberían cruzarse, un encuentro fortuito unirá sus destinos para siempre mientras la ciudad se prepara para unas revueltas que podrían poner fin a todo lo que han conocido hasta ahora, incluida su historia.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
One city. Two lives.
An impossible love at the dawn of a revolution.
Shanghai, 1924. The first Communist uprisings are beginning to undermine the power of the Nationalist Party, and pressure is growing to expel foreigners from the concessions, the city’s exclusive international districts. Darlene Long, a resident of one such concession, longs to explore the real China, but the bars of her golden cage stand in the way, and she knows she will always be considered an outsider.
On the other side of the city, Kai Tao has joined the university students promoting the Communist cause. Although their paths never should have crossed, a chance encounter links Darlene and Kai’s fates as the city prepares for a reckoning that will change everything they’ve known until now, including their lives.
